Tiie proposition is mo > plain and simple, that it would seem that no man who wished to be just and patriotic would for one moment question it- Yet we have a party claiming nationality, which adopts as its creed, that the whole unoccupied territory shall belong on ly to northern men, and (bat the South shall be forever excluded therefrom. In this connection we desire to call attention to the following remarks of Mr. llultcr, of South Carolina. It appears that Mr. Usrlaft, of Iowa, in the course of his recent speech alluded to a remark of Mr. ltutler's, in wmcn no saiu mai no wouiu rather tliat i the Union should bo dissolved 111 prefer-1 ence to its being a Union without the protection of a constitution which gives him equably. Mr. Harlan construed this remark to mean that Mr. Butler preferred a dissolution of the Union ralber than the people of the Zerxitary should have the p^wer to exclnSle slavery from it. Mr. Butler was absent when this alluvion was made; but after Mr. tluulaa had concluded, the following remarks aseve made: 'Mr. .Butler?Sir: I say now calmly, that when a northern majority shall acquire such a control -over the legislation of this country as to disfranchise the slave holding States in shut respect in which they have an equnlity uudor the constitution of the country, 1 will not agree to live under this government when the Union can survive the constitution. ( That is my. sentiment. I am not a slave to submit myeeit' to legislation controlled by mere discretion. Mr. Prerii?!11! if George Washinglou and Benjamin franklin, ai.J the wisest Mien who ever lived, wore to come here and attempt to legislate under the dictates ctf'mere discretion, and should do me an injustice, I would bo a craven and a traitor to the principles of May no, Chart a to everything which I have learned from the highest-sources of history if I could submit to any measure that would place my children the ninctv-niuth hundredth part of an inch beneath the children of the senator from Iowa. r "Mr. Bell, of Tcnuesseo. I do not wish to interfere in this matter, hut 1 will slate 1 what I understood the scu.tloi from Iowa to say, "Mr, Butler. I did uot hear his remark ; I was not here when lie made it." , "Mr. Bell, of Tciiucsscc. The senator from Iowa took the distinct "round that the interpretation of the views of the gentleman i 4'roin South Carolina was that the "equality" of which he s|K>ko consisted in the citizens of the southern States having tho right during the whole period of territorial governments in the Territories, to go there with , their slaves before a State constitution wa* formed. I understood the senator from Io wa to aay that the sepator from South Carolina hud denied that tho peoplo of the Territory of Kansas under their organic law could oxcluJe slavery, until tho Territory shall be admitted into tho Union with a Stale constitution. That is what 1 understood him to say. "Mr. Butler. This is rather nu ambulato rv kind of ituuio I iwmuit * the meaning of the senator. "Mr. Ilarlan. I will state to tlie honora Lie senator from South Carolina what 1 said. The honorable senator from Tennessee has fairly presented the argument; hut inj view was based on the statement of the honorable senator fcom South Carolina, and the honorable senator from Georgia. (Mr. Toombs.) It was argumentative merely. 1 quoted, as neatly, as I could remember, the substance of the reiqarko of tlie seualor from ft South Carolina ; and then I interpreted the meaning of his phraseology by quoting from ' the speech of the senator from Georgia. "Mr. Hale. That is it, exactly. "Mr. Butler. Well, sir; I want no copartnership with anybody, in making speeches. [Laughter.] If the senator from Iowa were on the tripod to-morrow at the I >elphi coracle, I would not take his inter?relation of my speech, lie might place a 'ythia theia and instruct her, and Philipise her, if bo chose, but I would not take his very interpretation. Why, sir, I avoided that question in regardto the powers of tlie territo riid government, lie cannot find a word in my peech upon that question.

The Washington Light Infantry?their Eecep:ion?the BalL It lias seldom fallen to our lot to record a more pleasing fact than the visit of this time-honored corp.* to our village. Neither has Greenville, upon any former occasion, shown a higher appreciation of the compliment bestowed upon her,than was manifested in welcoming this patriotic band into o r midst. The company consisted of about fifty, rank utul file, and were returning from llie battle-ground of the Cowpens, whither! they had went for the purpose of renting a I monument to the memory of those who shared the daugo.s and triumphs of that well-fought battle?an engagement that ro douuded to the fame of the gallant heroes who participated in it?crowning with glory the names of its survivors, and embalming its patriotic dead in the hearts of their countrynictK A victory ultimately leading to the grand achievement of our country's free doin. The Iufuutry were met one mile from the town by the Butler Guards, under command of Capt. II. Lick Tmhuston'. The Infantry in passing were saluted by the Guards?in leturning the same, tho companies fell into plattoons, the Guards escorting the Infantry, and marching to the well-timed music -of the band connected with the latter compai?y. In this manner they proceeded down Buncombe street, entered Main street, and marched to the front of the Mansion House, where Capt. Turtt'sros, ou the part of the company which lie commanded and the cit izens generally, addressed tho Washington r :_i.? r r . . - i^igm miMiiiry ii4 follows : "Copt.

It is not merely a kindly greeting from the mountains to the seaboard, or from soldier to brother soldier, hut it is an exhibition, also, of their approval and appreciation of the noble object you have accomplished. Toderignate the spot where reposes tho dust of kindred and friends, is highly commendable, and a feeling, too, common in the humnnheart. How much moro so, then, to journey for day* to mark the place and render sacred the ground upon which bravo men fought and patriots fell to renr a monument, which shall speak to posterity of tl.o ' - fcnv pivi ivno \?wuo vi mcir iwopii nor^ - rc* mind llicin of the fierce ami Mtiguinarv struggle through which they passed to secute the blessing.* of freedom.

From puatriv post were foe driven ; inch by inch did they contend for the ground, gained by fierce struggles but a short while previous, till they were counselled to evacuato Charleston, and leave the ntaie in the lmntft of the victorious rebels. Thus ww King's Mountain and Obwpens the beginning?nod a noble beginning it was? of a campaign which freed us from hireling soldier and Tory. Worthy, then, is Cowpens of a monument?all hono? and praise to you, gentlemen, for so nobly conceiving nnd gencronsly performing the duty. Well repaid will you bo, to stand on that field, a yon did a few days since, and let loose tho imagination. Fancy will paint the scone, as it occurred more than sixty years ago. There was Morgan, with his little band of Spartaus. stretching from spring to spring; silence reigned, save the sighing of the winter wind through those primeval forests nnd the click of tho cock, as drawn to its place, or perhaps, a whisper, now nnd then, of caution or command.

"Possessing, as you do, an heir loom, which is an amulet of honor, and your noble act, so recently performed, place you in truly an honorable position. Much will be expected of you. 1 feel confident you will be true to yourselves, your name and Carolina. Throughout the lai\glb and breadth of the State, yon receive, and arc now receiving the highest eucoiuiUins of praise.

UATCft, of the Infantry, responded ill a brief but happy style, expressive of the thanks of ihe company, and | the pleasurable emotions at being welcomed so generously l?y the people of the mountains. Al the conclusion of his response, they were conducted to a spot near the Fur- . man University, previously selected for the purjKwe, where their^tenta were soon pitched, and preparations made for a; repast. The members of the corpa seemed much fatigued, hai ing made a forced march of twenty-firo miles tho day previous through heavy ra:n and mud. The neat white tents as they stood arranged upon the hill-side, and the blazing of the camp-fires, lent a beautiful charm to the place, and kindled in tho iniud's eye the scenes in which our fathers acted, and served to animate the heart to noble and deserving deeds. ; At fi o'clock tho Infantry appeared in our streots in full uniform?making a beautiful displifr, and performing many interesting and intricate evolutions. They carried with them the flag which waved over the battleucidsof ?atao anu (pens, .?ud pisssitUt) to ihein by Mrs. Wasiiinqtok, tire widow of <5ol. Wariiihotow, in honor of whom the company was named. We woidd men lion juat here that the fatiguo dress of this company, woru upon the occasion of their visit to the Cowpens, and Sn which they first appeared in our town, constated of a dark hunting shirt, the cape and edges of which were tiimmed with black fringo; a brown woof hat, one side turned up and fastened with a silver button, and containing a black feather. The whole en setnble bearing a similitude to the dress worn by Morgan and his men upon the day the battle of CJbwpens was fought, and peculiarly adapted 4o the service for which it was gotten up. | But it was at uight, when surrounded by the fair young ladies of our. village aud , &striet, that the Infantry were made to feel ftm deep joy which their presenoa had inspired, and the waitntU of their reception.

It* main feature is the delineation of a character more than ordinarily gifled in in tollect and in heart, and upon whoso forehead nearly every god had set liis seal, but whose intellect suspicion shadowed nnd blighted, and in whose heart jealousy lay coiled like a serpent. It also portrays the iuiluenco of such a character upon one whose innocence and fidelity were worthy of eter anltru.it.

There arc ' no superfluous characters in Ernest Linwood,. and each has a di-tincl individuality. The plot is rather too intervolveJ in souie ' parts, and occasionally a scene appears highly wrought; but in the latter case, at least', the vrttiscmblancc is always perserved ; and certainly no story could teach a better mop, 1 id than that which, nt'tcr describing alf the working* of the green eyed passion, displays its tinal eradication by the power of that religion whose tirat lesson is that of childlike Faith. It is sad to think that the gifted authoress of Ernost Lin wood has written her last work, said her last word, and ' goue to her own place." The Inst sentence which site has given to the world was a sad prophecy, which too soon met Its fhlfllment": "We, too, are passing ou in the procession of life, and the waves of time that are rolling beliiud us will wash away the print of our footsteps, nnd others will follow and othors still, but few will bo timed on stormier soas, j or be anchored at last in a more blissful haven." of Ifeo ??1fWiae. 1 Per tonal?Columbiana?S. 0.
